Summary
This study tested whether wearing virtual reality goggles during a tooth extraction can lower anxiety in adults. 119 people having at least two teeth pulled under local anesthesia were split into two groups: one used VR, the other did not. Anxiety was measured with questionnaires before and during the procedure. The goal was to see if VR makes dental visits less stressful.
